by Destinys-Child Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 12 '01

The Minimum Requirement

by NGenTek , Jul 11 '00
Pros: Installation was easy
Cons: Minor problems with OpenGL
Competition in the 3D video market is fierce to say the least. With nVidia turning out a new chip on a six-month schedule, a company either keeps up, or dies. Combating the 900-lb gorilla that is the TNT2/GeForce is the Rage 128 chip from ATI. While the...

No Fury here

by rustyvic , Dec 01 '00
Pros: Great performance
Cons: Driver problems
I had recently started to do some 3D modelling work just for the practice and whilst I'd been happy with the nVidia TNT2 M64 (32 Mb) card installed as a good all-round graphics card it was time for something better.
With the assistance of a couple...

Furiously Fast Graphics

by Seanster , Apr 19 '00
Pros: Very Fast, lots of memory, looks nice
Cons: Skimpy manual, TERRIBLE install program
The ATI Rage Fury is one of several Rage 128 based boards. This card uses an AGP bus, has 32 MB of onboard memory, and screams with speed. It supports OpenGL and Direct3D in Hardware mode. It's a great card in terms of hardware, but the manual and...

ATI attempt on the high end market

by Drawmij , Jan 15 '00
Pros: 32 MB ram, TVout, 128bit graphics acceleration
Cons: Visit the ATI websites for withstanding problems
This card was one of the first attempts by ATI at the high end graphics accelerator market. In the past, gamers had to look elsewhere for the fastest 3D cards, and this proves that ATI has made a serious attempt to bring customers the best in...

A workhorse in the company of Speed Racers.

Cons: Driver reliability
I purchased this product to help me run the game application Ultima IX. My computer originally came with a Rage LT Pro 4meg and needed a little boost. However due to problems with the game itself, the boost was negligible.

Ah, Disappointment

by Strango , Mar 24 '00
Pros: Hardware dvd, 32 bit performance
Cons: drivers, spotty performance with games
I chose to go with a Rage Fury when I bought my system last June. The deciding factors were hardware dvd and good 32 bit performance. In these two areas, at least, the card does fairly well in. However, it stumbles horribly when you go beyond those...

Great 2D/3D Card, Hardware Assisted DVD Decoding, and TV Out

by thequbemaster , Dec 08 '00
Pros: Great 2D performance, and great 3D quality, Hardware Assisted DVD Decoding, TV out
Cons: An Aging Card, Perhaps It's Wiser To Opt for A Newer Card
I bought this card when it first came out to upgrade from my older ATI Video Card. It boosted my computer's 3D performance a great deal, and provided excellent 2D quality. The hardware assisted DVD Decoding is a great feature, because it takes off a lot...

Pros: Smooth DVD playback, reasonably good frame rates in 3d games.

Not the best Graphics Card for your money

by rhhebert , Jul 17 '01
Pros: 32 MB Ram, smooth color rendering, easy to install
Cons: incompatibility with some motherboard chipsets, not all games work well with it
We had bought the Rage Fury to replace our outdated Matrox card. The thought of having a 32MB card was very enticing. After installing the card, we noticed that the colors were richer and the resolution was very crisp and clear. But after awhile, there...

Good technician's card...

by ogur , Jan 01 '00
Pros: ATI constantly gives rebates, and the card is decent enough.
Cons: Gotta go through a LOT of trouble to get stuff working right.
Ok, long story short, I got a heck of a deal on this card.. the price I paid shown below reflects a rebate and an extra discount I managed to get (long story). I took my brand new ABIT BE6 motherboard out for a ride with this puppy in the AGP slot and...

Pros: Good DVD ability/TV out. 32Mb mem on card
Cons: Incompatibility w/ games. Screen flicker

Pros: Supports DVD and has S-video out

Once a hero

Pros: 32 bit colour (I'm English!), Video options, surprising performance
Cons: No T&L,
I've had it a year now, when I bought it it was flash, people envied me. Now its not so flash, the TNT2 (PRO of course), The Geforce in both Single Data Rate, Double Data Rate and the new GTS modes have all made its claims look a little feeble. Where...
